คุณครูประจำชั้นของเด็กๆ ตื่นเต้นกันมากเลยค่ะ ที่จะได้เจอเด็กๆ ผ่าน Microsoft Teams
Yesterday you had a chance to explore your home. We wonder what you found when you took a closer look at the space you live in! Did you find lots of small rooms? Or, a few big ones? What kinds of things were in each room? Who did you see in each space? Today you might like to show off what you found by creating your own version of your home. There are lots of different ways you could show us your home. Check out a few different suggestions here:
In your Resource Pack, you will have noticed a large art book. This is your child's, 'Me and My World Book'.
Guidance- English
Research into communication, language and emotional development tells us that young children need opportunities to talk about and share their interests and family life with others. Once back in school, this book will help to create a sense of belonging and will encourage children to talk to their friends and teachers.
This book will come home from school many times throughout the year to be updated.
What we would like you to do now:
As this is a prompt for talk, we would like you to help your child to include some of the following:
Photographs of family members and other special people
Particular interests and hobbies
Holiday photographs
Special events (cultural or family celebrations)
Pets
Favourite foods
Favourite music, TV shows, toys, characters etc..
You do not need to print everything. Children can draw their favourite things or cut out snippets from magazines or leaflets. Your child can decorate the front cover of their book anyway they wish!
We suggest, that at this time, you don’t use more than 4 or 5 pages. This will ensure there is plenty of space for your child to add and reflect upon their experiences and interests throughout the rest of the school year.
Enjoy starting to create this special book together!
To see how powerful the 'All About Me Books' can be in supporting and prompting communication, watch the way these students engage over some family photos:
We Love To See Your Learning
We really love to see videos and photos of what you have been doing at home. The best way to share this with us is via the Seesaw App. You should have received communication about how to download and login to the app. If you have not received this, please email the ISIT helpdesk- helpdesk@patana.ac.th
Let's Explore our Resource Packs
If you picked up your Resource Packs from school, why not check out some of these ideas about how your child can explore using the packs:
As Patana’s Continuing Student Learning (CSL) period
continues into a new term, children and teachers will be learning what makes
great lessons online and honing their skills on the technology; however, for
our youngest students, screen time is not always so easy. Whilst our youngest
students love working with their teacher onscreen, they also benefit immensely
from hands-on, practical and creative tasks that aren’t always easy to deliver
online.
If there’s anything our fantastic Foundation Team enjoy,
it’s a challenge. So, over the last week, our team put together these fantastic
home learning packs to bring Continuing Student Learning to life. Our home
learning packs enhance our students’ learning and supplement our teachers’ home
learning activities. They include activities that cover all aspects of the
Early Years Seven Learning Areas. You can visit our CSL blog which includes
some home learning ideas for our open ended resources, learning opportunities
and key questions. The bags provide a fun, practical and creative learning
opportunity for all of our Foundation Stage students!
Over the course of a 3 week period, the bags will contain
materials that can support the learning from home. Your child’s class teacher
will be in touch via email with instructions of how to access the blog for some
inspiration. We kindly ask that you take great care of all the resources
provided and return these to school at the end of the 3 week period prior to
picking up your new bag.
We hope you enjoy exploring these packs alongside our CSL
provision and as always, please do contact your child’s class teacher if you
have any queries regarding the learning.
Kind Regards,
The Foundation Stage Team

If you have any concerns or queries about your child’s learning, please do not hesitate to contact your child's class teacher via email. They can then arrange a mutually convenient time to meet via MS Teams. Our class teachers always welcome the opportunity to discuss your child’s needs and progress.
